Kramers of U. S. foreign pol
icy are keeping rather quiet
these days, since the return of

waiting period while the con- j

are not just resting, i ney are
pursuing the same objective of
halting Communist aggression

may be done, and where, remain
unresolved questions: also, Who

Much has been written of the
setback which U. S. diplomacy
got from the abortive proposal
for "united action" and Nixon's
forecast of U. S. unilateral ac
tion. One correspondent says we
have lost the initiative and tem
porarily at least the leadership
of the anti-Communist alliance.
Really it is too early to decide
how final or how fatal is the
reverse suffered bv Mr. Dulles
over the Asian business.
A key may be -found, however,
in loss of moral initiative. In
virtually all our previous involve
ments in this century we have
held the banner of virtue. We en
tered the first world war to
"save the world for democracy."
Thrust into the second world

a half flight. Special Nurse Mrs.
Flying Iron Lung
Takes Salem Polio
Victim to Seattle
By JAMES BURR MILLER
Staff Writer, The Statesman
SEATTLE, Wash. A Salem, Ore. man, his iron lung securely
lashed down in the bomb-bay of a converted Douglas B-18, was
landed at Boeing Airport here Wednesday at 12:25 p.m., following
an hour and a half flight from his home.
The polio victim, Richard O'Connor, 23, was quickly transfer
red by ambulance from the airport to Harbor View Hospital where
he was plac'ed in an iron lung in
the respirator center, a unit of
the National Polio foundation.
The young man was trans
ferred by one of the most unique
methods ever employed to bring
a polio patient to Seattle. The
flight northward, winging 6,000
feet above the ground over bil
lowy cumulus clouds and beneath
a beaming sunlight, was made
calmly without serious difficulty
and the patient admitted, "It
was no trouble at all: I feel fine"
after his arrival here.
Gulped Air Faster
Few problems were too both
ersome en route. On the takeoff
from McNary Field in Salem, he
confessed, the forward motion of
the plane forced his chin against
the iron lung collar. When the
plane was at 6,000 feet he gulped
air a little faster to clear his ears
"and just once I felt a little air
sick, but it quickly passed."
Most missed item in the limited
vision from the bomb-bay was a
mirrer by which the young man
could have enjoyei the sweep of
mountains nudging above the
clouds and into the sun. "I'll see
hern on the trip back." he told
a StcUsman repor'rr happily as
he settled down in his new lung
t Hirbor V tw.
Doctor Accompanies
The polio patient, struck down
with the malady last November,
was accompanied on the flight
bv his attending physician Dr.
Wuliam C. Crothers: his special
nurse, Mrs. Paul Herring, and
Orderly Ernest Tarpley, all of
Salem.
The plane, owned by the Ace
Flying Service at Salem, was
adapted especially to accommo
date the iron lung and a special
gasoline-powered, unit was used
to power the lung.
Pilot of the plane was its own
ci, Leo (Ace) Demers, and co
pilot was L. H. Van Aken, both
of Salem. The bomber, one of
three similar owned by the Salem
company, is equipped primarily
for budworm spraying and grass
hopper control. A 1.000 gallon
tank is welded in the forward end
of the bomb-bay and a special
flooring was constructed just be
hind the tank to house the iron
lung and secure it to the plane.

Ike Calls for
Resumption
Of Hearings
WASHINGTON '.P The Eisen
hower administration threw the
switches Wednesday to start the
McCarthy-Army hearings rolling
again next Monday.
President Eisenhower personally
called for a resumption of the tele
vised inquiry "let the chips fall
where they may," he declared.
Next, with the President's en
dorsement. Secretary of the Army
Stevens took sole responsibility on
behalf of the Army for the actions
that led to its head-on collision
with Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis.
In the wake of this one-two team
play, Acting Chairman Mundt (R
SD) said the temporarily side
tracked inquiry will resume Mon
day. He told newsmen the hearings
should not last more than another
week or 10 days.
Mundt said he expected Stevens
would be asked to repeat under
oath Wednesday's denial that the
Army's moves were masterminded
by White House or other top offi
cials. The hearings still did not have a
clear track, however.
Eisenhower flatly refused to lift
his secrecy order which to his
astonishment, he told a news con
ference stalled the inquiry last
Monday.
And McCarthy, who has blasted
this order as an "iron curtain."
barring him from presenting his
full case against his Pentagon an
tagftnists, shifted figures of speech
and said the order makes him play
against a "stacked deck."
The Wisconsin senator said he
doesn't know what his course will
be. but;
"I just don't want to go ahead
with a stacked deck."

Dikes Hold Firm as
Idaho River Swells
BONNERS FERRY, Idaho fP) The turbulent Kootenai River
swelled to the 33.1 foot level here Wednesday and this community
of 1,800 in Northern Idaho was threatened by its worst flood in
years.
The river was still rising it's gone up more than 27 feet in 15
days and civilian volunteers worked alongside Army Engineers
padding dirt dikes to hold back the ;
water.
4Some 40,000 acres of farm land
are threatened. More than 500 per
sons have already abandoned their
homes in lowland areas.
"It's a critical situation here,"
said Gov. Len Jordan who flew up
from Boise after proclaiming a
state of emergency in Boundary
County.
The rate of the river's rise
slackened a little Wednesday eve
ning as the water spread out over
a wider area. It rose at the rate of
.15 feet per hour during the day,
and was coming up at .10 feet per
hour during the evening.
Dikes Holding
The Sheriff's office said at 8 p m.
that all the dikes were holding and
appeared firm. The town was better
prepared for this threat than for
the big 1948 flood, officers pointed
out, as heavy equipment was put
to work on the dikes as son as
the" danger became serious.
The river, fed by melting snows
from the mountains, is expected
to reach its runoff crest probably
by Saturday, the sheriff's office
said.
The Spread Creek Bridge b e
tween Troy, Mont., and the Yaak
Air Force Radar Station was
Washed out by the torrent, cutting
off airmen at the installation. A
plane was being flown in to repair
the radio so communications can
be resumed through the Libby
sheriff's office. No one in the sta
tion, on high ground, was in dan
ger. 1,000 Acres Inundated
About 1.000 acres of farm land
outside "diking districts" were in
undated near Bonners Ferry, but
34-foot dikes protecting wheat and
pasture land elsewhere in the rich
Kootenai Valley appeared to be
holding up. There was some seep
age, however.
The town itself, menaced an
nually by the river, is protected
by 37-foot dikes. However, the
main business district is on low
ground and some stores were mov
ing stock and sand bagging.
All the schools have been closed.
Grocers reported a "run" on
canned goods by residents who
fpel they might be cut off by the
water.
' A downtown theater added some
humor to the grim business. It
put up a marquee reading. "Dog
gone U Kootenai, stay in vour own
appeared little chance that
it would.
Professional Job
Gov. Jordan, who toured the
dikes with other state officials.
said he didn't think it would be
necessary to call out more Na
tional Guard troops. Some are
here. The governor said the work
of building up dikes is a profes
sional job. About 100 trained Ar
my Engineers and 50 pieces of
heavy equipment have Ueen in ac
tion since Tuesday night.
; In Washington, meanwhile. Sen.
Henry Dworshak (R Idaho) called
on Brig. Gen. E. C. Itschner, civil
works chief for the Army Engi
neers. Itschner gave assurances
the Army is alerted to give all
necessary aid.
There were fears the Kootenai
might reach 37 feet unless cool
weather slows down the runoff.
The serious flood of 1948 came at
the 35.3-foot level. Water was dan
gerously close to the top of the
Bonners Ferry bridge in town but
traffic was still moving.
North of the border in Canada
overflowing tributaries wandered
through the streets of Kimberley,
cut some highways and threatened
several towns.
Fewer Than
Expected
By PALX W. HARVEY JR.
Associated Press Writer
Fewer than half of Oregon's
785,285 registered voters are ex
pected to vote in Friday's pri
mary election, which has the dis
tinction of offering the smallest
number of statewide or congres
sional contests in many years.
Interest has been centered
chiefly on the Republican con
test for governor and upon Mult
nomah county's congressional
race, but many lively local and
legislative battles are being de
pended upon to bring out the
voters.
The campaign for governor, in
the dordrums until last week
when Secretary of State Earl T.
Newbry came out for federal pow
er development, finds Gov. Paul
L. Patterson seeking election in
his own right. Patterson became
governor 17 months ago when, as
senate president, he succeeded
ex-Gov. Douglas McKay when Mc
Kay became secretary of the In
terior.
Hitchcock to
Resign State
Senate Seat
PORTLAND OP The Oregonian
said Wednesday it has learned
that State Sen. Philip S. Hitchcock
of Klamath Falls will resign his
legislative post and join the staff
of Lewis and Clark College here.
The newspaper said Hitchcock,
reached by telephone at a Detroit
church conference, said he would
resign shortly after he returns to
Oregon Monday.
The president of Lewis and
Clark College. Dr. Morgan S.
Odell, said Hitchcock would be
come director of church and public
relations.
Hitchcock, a former lumber
operator, has been in the
implement business in Klamath
Falls until recently. He had been
a contender for the presidency of
the Senate in the 1955 session.
Prolonged Dr
c J
Spell Affecting
Farm Crops
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Farm crops began to show the
effects of the prolonged dry spell
Wednesday as Oregon had another
day of warm, dry weather. No
rain is in sight to ease scattered
water shortages and critical fire
danger in the forests.
Temperatures were lower
Wednesday after a day of swelter
ing weather Tuesday as ther
mometers rose to the mid-90s.
Some cities enforced curtailed
lawn sprinkling and some outlying
areas near Portland had tempor
ary water shortages because of
increased consumption.
Logging operations were cur
tailed in Western Oregon and fire
lookouts were manned in the
forests. A small forest fire, the
fourth of the year in the area, was
claned up by state crews north
east ot Laurande. the blaze on
Frazier Mountain covered seven
acres.
Slow rises continued on the
Columbia and Willamette Rivers
as predicted. A level of 18.7 feet is
expected in Portland by Sunday
morning, and a reading of 20.3 feet
by Monday. This is high enough to
put some low-lying docks under
water. Portland's flood stage is 18
feet.
The Columbia at Vancouver,
Wash., is expected to lop the 15
foot flood level Thursday. A read
ing of 20.5 feet is predicted by
Monday, River Forecaster Elmer
Fisher said.

Pakistan, U.S.
Sign Mutual
Defense Pact
By ZAMIR SIDDIQI
KARACHI. Pakistan Pakis
tan and the United States Wednes
day signed a one-year mutual de
fense pact under which America
will help equip and train the
armed forces of this strategic na
tion of more than 75 million at the
eastern gateway to the Middle
East.
The Soviet Union. India, and
Egypt have - denounced the pact.
But both Washington and Karachi
officially proclaimed it another
step to consolidate the strength of
the free world.
Both the United States and Pakis
tan have mutual aid arrangements
with Turkey.
Pakistan has been a member of
the British Commonwealth since
it gained independence in 1947. It
has a common border with India,
and the northern area of West
Pakistan is within a short distance
of both Russia and Red China.
To Cooperate
Under the new pact, Karachi
agreed to cooperate with Washing
ton in controlling trade with na
tions threatening the maintenance
of world peace. This is aimed at
preventing the shipment of strate
gic goods to the Communist bloc.
The pact provides for a U. S.
military advisory group in Pakis
tan, plus assurances from the Ka
rachi government it will not use
the arms aid for aggressive pur
poses or against the United States.
There is no provision for U. S.
bases in Pakistan.
No Confirmation
Like other mutual aid pacts ne
gotiated by Washington, it was an
executive agreement not requiring
confirmation by the U. S. Senate.
India and the Soviet bloc have
criticized the pact bitterly through
out its negotiation, extending over
several months. Indian Prime Min
ister Nehru claimed it would tip
the military balance between Indi
and Pakistan still at odds over
Kashmir while Communist
spokesmen asserted it would ere
ate a U. S. -backed "military bloc
in the Near and Middle East
against the U. S .S. R."
Egypt also attacked it as a "con
spiracy" aimed at luring Moslem
states into a Western defense net
work already rejected by Cairo
Pakistan's Foreign Minister Sir
Mohammed Zafrullah Khan, who
signed the agreement with U. S
Charge d'Affaires 'John Kenneth
Emerson, insisted its aim is de
fensive.

Portland Suspect
Cleared in Brice
Kidnap Try Case
PORTLAND (.-P) A circuit court jury decided Wednesday night
that Jimmy Valentine, 41-year-old gambler, was not the man who
tried to kidnap 9-year-old George Brice III last March.
The jury returned its verdict of innocent on a 10-2 vote after
about 5j hours' deliberation.
The slender Valentine, who testified readily that he was a gam
bler and a narcotics addict, insist-
ed he had been arrested only be
cause he was dark and wore a
mustache, and thus had a resem
blance to the wouid-be kidnaper.
He and four friends testified he
was in his apartment at the time
the kidnap attempt was made.
Shots Fired
Four witnesses for the prosecu
tion, including the boy's mother,
had testified Valentine was the
man who tried, but failed, to
snatch the son of a wealthy
Portlander from an exclusive
school in the city's west hills.
The man had forced the boy's
mother and her maid to accom
pany him to the school. There
teachers held doors against him,
and the gunman fled after firing
several wild shots. One instructor
suffered a bullet wound in the
finger, but there were no other
injuries.
The man who attempted the
kidnaping said he was after a
$125,000 ransom.
Valentime is still in jail. Bond
is S50.000. Before he can be freed
he must be cleared of two kid
naping charges. The charge of
which he was cleared Wednesday
night was attempted kidnaping,
and it was brought to trial first
because prosecuting attorneys
considered it the best time to put
controversial evidence into rec
ord. Rules of evidence may make
it more difficult to introduce evi
dence against Valentine in the
other two charges.
Not Described as Negro
After the trial one juror said
that points counting in Valen
tine's favor included the fact that
no witness for the state had de
scribed the kidnaper as a Negro,
nor had mentioned a voice with
an accent or a bad eye. Valentine
is a Negro, has a thick accent
and has a cast to his right eye
The defense also made much
of the point that Valentine said
he had met theBrice's maid at
Portland night spots several times
and even bought her a drink. The
maid had testified she had never
before seen the man who attempt
ed the kidnaping. The jury dis
closed that the first ballot was
two for guilty, seven for innocent
and three undecided.
Meeting to Seek
Wavs to Resist
Segregation Bar
ATLANTA IT! Attorneys gen

means of resisting the LT.S. Su
preme Court decision outlawing
public school segregation.
Eugene Cook, Georgia attorney
general, asked his colleagues in
the states having segregation to a
conference next Wednesday.
An emergency meeting of the
Southern Governors' Conference to
study the segregation ruling also
was suggested by Gov. Charley
Johns of Florida to Gov. Johnston
Murray of Oklahoma, the confer
ence chairman.
Such a meeting of Southern gov
ernors quickly won the approval
of Georgia Gov. Herman Tal
madge. He said it might be of ben
efit to some of the other states
But as for Georgia, he said
"we've already decided what we'll
do. Georgia will resist the decision
if it is the only state in the nation
to do so.
nine Democrats seek reelection.
The most dramatic of these
contests also involves reapportion
ment
Rep. David C. Baum, La
Grande, candidate for speaker of
the house who failed in his long
court battle against the reappor
tionment amendment, lost his
district, too. So he is running
asainst Rep. H. R. Weatherford,
Wallowa, for Republican nomina

can ballot, the choice for four
state representatives will lie am
ong Eddie Ahrens, W. W. Chad
wick, Robert F. Cook and Robert
L. Elfstrom, William E. Kimsey,
Jason Lee, Alfred Loucks.
The only Marion County Demo
crats for Legislature are Guy W.
Jonas, for representative, and
Cecil J. Fames, for senator.
Republican voters are to nom
inate two for senate from among
Mark Hatfield, Lee Ohmart and
Douglas Yeater.
